Sadly, there'll be plenty more of that this summer. Blacky, as kids none of us really know too much. But there are plenty of dog owners that are far from being kids, well, I know that's debatable lol, but there are many many running dog owners these days that will be getting their 'machines' on the go already in preparation for the coming season ?
-
Lol exactly. Yeah certainly, keep your dog 'relatively' fit, but like you say, when I read some of the fitness regimes on here, well, it leaves me scratching my head in puzzlement! Lol ?
-
Yes I understand that mate, but all this biking for miles, free running for 30 -60 mins and roadwalking for 5 miles or whatever, is certainly not needed in the middle of summer. I know you didn't say it, but there'll be more than a few on here already doing it ?
-
Not cut anywhere near me either. Was just reacting to the op post about first corn cut lol
-
Yep, now the first corn's been cut, you'll see a plethora of newbies doing upwards of a 100 miles a week roadwork, biking etc, just steady like to start, then a few weeks after that 'the challenges' will start ?
-
Don't know why people on here keep on starting to improve their dogs fitness in the middle of summer. f***ing madness. Within the next couple of weeks it'll be 'I'm biking my dog for 5 miles, free running for 30 minutes and roadwalking 5 miles, start him off steady'. Steady?! f***ing madness!!
-
Yeah but leave dog int house ☺
-
Looks pretty bad that mate. How long ago was it, and did she make a full recovery?
-
And I'd still walk out without a lamp, just to see what my dog fetched back to me. Love it, even more so without a lamp
-
Honestly king, I really am not one for the lamp. But when I used to go regularly, I could tell what was in front of me by the way the dog was behaving, before I turned the lamp on
-
But you'll also get people saying they have big, strong, robustly built dogs that hardly ever have injuries, even after they've had a good few bumps whilst working. When people tell me that, I just think their dog couldn't be that fast, and/or didn't hit any object hard enough. Watch people's reaction to this post now A W lol ?
-
A 70-80 lb dog is going to have a lot more stress and strain on it's joints etc, than a 30-40 lb dog. And obviously, when bigger dogs hit something running at roughly the same speed as the smaller dogs, they hit it with a lot more force and impact, resulting in more damage ?. All the smaller dogs I've owned have suffered less injuries than my bigger dogs ?
-
I think exactly that. In my experience, bigger dogs have far more injuries than smaller, lighter dogs. Shoulders, toes, ligaments etc, not rips or tears like you say ?
-
Should've had it on the rats at 7 WEEKS, build it's confidence ☺
-
The heat is indeed buckling my mind fella. But it must've also buckled yours. You won't see me digging any holes ?

COLLIE X GREYHOUNDS...ENDANGERED SPECIES...
shaaark replied to japs eye's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
If you're dead set against going to hancock, and don't want the hassle of breeding your own, then you might have to settle for something that isn't 'just' collie/grey. Unless you search a bit harder. -
Pair of belters there phil. They ok on feather too?
-
Not a fan of really tight beams myself. Seen some very narrow escapes ?
-
The results would probably have come about sooner, if some of those owner/breeders hadn't culled half their original litters ?
-
But do you need a blitz just to lamp bunnies?! ?
-
Anyway, wrong section lads lol ?
-
That makes them just terriers then
-
You saying bedlingtons are a tad too large?
-
Bedlington? ?
-
Yep, makes sense that ?
